The release from Cannonsville has been increased slightly and now sits at 1,027 cfs. The cold water release is keeping the Mainstem temperatures in great shape despite the sun and heat. There is some color on the West Branch still and it looks good for streamer fishing. Wading is definitely better on the Mainstem although there are a few wadeable spots on the West. Small nymphs and wet flies worked the best in yesterday’s bright sun. Luckily today is the last day of the heat wave. We should be back to more normal weather tomorrow with air temps in the 60’s. We even have a chance of some light rain on Friday. The cooler air temps, clouds, and light precip should help the dry fly fishing over the weekend. The lower East Branch and lower Beaverkill have both been too hot to fish. Hopefully a few days of cool weather and clouds will cool those rivers off.
